2014.02.17 19:00 - things as they are

No session was recorded, but I'll share, with you, what I was just reading...

THE BLUE GUITAR 

The man bent over his guitar, 
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green. 

They said, You have a blue guitar, 
You cannot play things as they are. 

The man replied, Things as they are 
Are changed upon the blue guitar. 

And they said then, But play, you must, 
A tune beyond us, yet ourselves, 
A tune upon the blue guitar 
Of things exactly as they are.

-Wallace Stevens
